Men's Teams Wild Duck 5K Recap

Men's Open Team

The San Diego Men's Open team was well represented at the Wild Duck 5K.  The Wild Duck is the opening race of the 2016 Dirt Dog Cross Country Series.  We had nine team members who were able to get the Track Club into 2nd place on the day.  Our first place finisher was Brian Valentini in 16:32 coming in at 14th place overall.  Just behind Brian was Alex Samarin in 16:39 and Charlie Gamble in 16:57.   We will be back racing next at our home course in Balboa Park for the Balboa 4 miler.
